Feeling Full is feeling better...heh heh.
Orange or Pink? AHHHH! I tried a pretty Mint but it didn't work out as well with the photos. Help me!
I'm trying Rusty's ideas for redesigning my How Safe Spread. I am failing. I need to do something new completely at this point or else I'll never have anything good for my portfolio. And why am I using so much orange? Beware, Rusty! I may use baby blue soon! >=D I have some ideas, so I gotta figure them out.
I have my concept for chili finally down too. All I need now is to photograph and COB out my peppers and seeds. I just need to figure out how to make a kick-ass jar label now that fits in with my party-fun-just-enough-tease feel I'm going for. Idea process & sketches here. Highlighted stuff is my final decision.
The book cover is getting work done.....and I have SOME ideas / sketches as you can see for the History Month illust. and SOI posters.
Black History Month is the hardest so far. I just don't think I have the experience or confidence to pick an empowering concept. I also have a hard time thinking of any race as a minority. Maybe in the numerical sense, or in the sense that others regard them as one. But why can't we just celebrate all races and heritages at once and all the time instead of singling them out? But I'm the lowly designer-peon at this moment in my "career" and just need to pump out something kick-ass. So I will do so.....it'll just happen slowly.
As for SOI, I'm having more nautical visions. Ugh. I'm thinking astronauts underwater. BTW, have you heard of James Cameron's adventure to the abyss of the Mariana Trench yet? If not, look into it. Super cool. I love the ocean, but fear it probably the same amount. It really is as alien as space is to us. Awesome.
So...either that, or I'll do a beautiful drawing of some sort of girl looking really pensive with lots of color explosions and floral textures and explorative-item-globe-compass-ship sketching to go along with it. No real concept other than emotions of identity, direction, and contemplation of art. Gotta do some thumbs and let Rusty pick.
Now....with so much to do....my test will be correctly determining priority of projects. I hate starting things while others aren't even close to being complete. However, I've gotta get started or I'll have no time to finish!
